In the starry sky, a bolt of lightning whistled through the air. Within this bolt of lightning was a gigantic lightning beast. Although this beast had a silver horn on its head, it emitted a golden light. Its entire body flickered with lightning, making it look extremely majestic.
Wang Lin was sitting on the back of the Thunder Beast. His long hair flowed behind him and his eyes shined brightly. Although he looked ordinary, he gave off an extraordinary aura.
At this moment, if anyone saw him, they would think without a doubt that he was a messenger of the Thunder Celestial Temple. He was simply too similar to Thunder Daoist when he rushed to planet Ran Yun.
Even a messenger of the Thunder Celestial Temple would be startled if they met Wang Lin.
More than 900 years of cultivation had allowed Wang Lin to reach the late stage of Ascendant and become an existence like Rosefinch's son.
If Rosefinch's son hadn't died, who knew what he would think after seeing this. The little cultivator he ignored and even vaguely treated as a chess piece had grown to his current height!
Late stage Ascendant cultivators were supreme existences on some small cultivation planets. No one dared to provoke them unless they had a heaven-defying treasure. Otherwise, they would without a doubt lose to a late stage Ascendant cultivator!
After nearly a year of absorbing celestial spiritual energy, Wang Lin had finally reached this peak. He only needed to take one more step and his cultivation and domain would reach completion. Then he would be able to enter the second step of cultivation!
Not many people could reach the second step, and it was far more difficult than the first step cultivators could imagine.
Although Wang Lin hadn't reached it yet, the few battles he had with Yin and Yang cultivators gave him a deep understanding of how powerful second step cultivators were.
"The first step of cultivation is already so difficult. Thinking back to my nine hundred years of cultivation, it was filled with danger. The slightest carelessness could lead to death in body and soul. Those who seek the Dao are born in the morning and die in the evening. If it wasn't for Senior Zhou Yi, I'm afraid I would have died long ago.
If the first step is already like this, then the second step will obviously be even more difficult. There will definitely be a test of life and death in it as well … I just don't know if I'll be able to pass it … But in life, if one goes with the flow, they'll be mortal, and if they go against the flow, they'll be immortal. As long as my Dao Heart exists, I'll be able to overcome all obstacles! "Wang Lin's eyes shone brightly.
"There is also the third step of cultivation. Not even Tian Yunzi and the others have reached it. They are still bitterly searching for it. Just what kind of level is the third step … How does it compare to an ancient god …?" Wang Lin's eyes shone with anticipation.
Even though he knew that the third step was too illusory and that he wouldn't be able to figure it out until the end of his lifespan.
"The three steps of cultivation are like climbing a mountain. Each step is more difficult than the last. I don't know how many realms there are in the third step … I just don't know if there is a fourth step!"
Wang Lin placed his right hand on the Thunder Beast's head and gently rubbed it. The thunder moved along his arm, but it didn't affect him at all.
Wang Lin softly said, "Is there a fourth step …" It was as if he was asking about the sky and earth.
This was a question that no one in this world could answer.
The thunder roared as it carried Wang Lin toward planet Thousand Illusion. Planet Ran Yun was the place where his memories were sealed. Wang Lin didn't want to go there anymore.
"It is time for me to explore planet Yun Xia's Wang Yue. Right now I need a large amount of Celestial Ascension Fruits. The Huan family is the best choice!" Wang Lin was sitting on the Thunder Beast. Although he was a bit slower than the star compass, he was still very fast.
"My original body absorbed the spiritual energy of a small planet and my strength is close to a four-star ancient god. Unfortunately, I'm missing the aura of an adult ancient god. I just don't know if it exists in the Luo Tian Star System …" Wang Lin's eyes lit up as if he had a flash of inspiration.
"Wang Yue is the host of an ancient god. I wonder if there is any ancient god aura left …" As Wang Lin pondered, he thought of something from many years ago.
"Back on planet Tian Yun, the messenger from the Cultivation Alliance brought a Star-Marked Sable. That beast is very sensitive to ancient god aura. If I had this beast, it would not be difficult to find ancient god aura!"
The Thunder Beast flew across the stars. Half a month later, planet Thousand Illusion appeared before Wang Lin. Wang Lin's eyes were calm as the Thunder Beast charged toward planet Thousand Illusion.
Just as it closed in, countless thunder clouds appeared above planet Thousand Illusion. Thunder rumbled across the sky. This strange phenomenon immediately caught the attention of the cultivators on planet Thousand Illusion.
The Thunder Beast tore through the sky, directly piercing through the astral winds and stepping into the air above planet Thousand Illusions. Then, it raised its head and let out a roar. This roar was the sound of all the thunder in the world.
As the roar rumbled, the thunder clouds that had gathered due to the appearance of the Thunder Beast began to move. Countless bolts of thunder descended, creating a series of explosions.
Just like when Thunder Daoist arrived on planet Ran Yun, the sound of the Thunder echoed across planet Thousand Illusion. A majority of the cultivators on planet Thousand Illusion trembled due to the might of the thunder.
After the Thunder Beast's third seal was undone, its strength, along with its inherited spells, was no weaker than an Illusory Yin cultivator!
Wang Lin frowned. He didn't want to be so ostentatious, so he patted the Thunder Beast's head. The Thunder Beast immediately stopped roaring and flew toward the ground.
According to Wang Lin's memory, the Thunder Beast charged straight toward the Huan family.
Before it even got close, all the cultivators of the Huan family flew into the air with Huan Fengshen in the lead. Their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at the incoming thunder.
When they clearly saw Wang Lin sitting on top of the giant beast, they all let out cries of shock.
The people of the Huan family would never forget Wang Lin.
Sitting on top of the Thunder Beast, Wang Lin's eyes were filled with lightning as he calmly said, "Huan family's head, step forward!"
Huan Fengshen took a deep breath and stepped forward. He respectfully clasped his hands and said, "Huan family's head, Huan Fengshen, greets Messenger of the Thunder Celestial Temple. I didn't know Messenger's identity before, so I hope Messenger won't take offense."
Wang Lin naturally wouldn't argue and said, "Don't mention what happened before. Let me ask you, do you have a way to obtain a large amount of Celestial Ascension Fruits in a short period of time?"
"Celestial Ascension Fruits?" Huan Fengshen was startled and then bitterly said, "Lord Messenger, this …"
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed as he looked at Huan Fengshen. The Thunder Beast under him let out a roar.
Huan Fengshen let out a sigh. His eyes revealed a decisive gaze as he nodded and said, "Forget it. My Huan family will give up the chance to enter the Thunder Celestial Realm in 100 years and give all the Celestial Ascension Fruits to Messenger."
Wang Lin's expression remained the same, but his heart trembled. There were some clues in Huan Fengshen's words. Could the Celestial Ascension Fruits have something to do with the Thunder Celestial Realm … The Thunder Celestial Realm will open in 100 years. Wang Lin had heard about this from Sun Xi.
Wang Lin's expression remained the same and he slightly nodded.
The Huan family had a large amount of Celestial Ascension Fruits, but it wasn't enough for Wang Lin's request.
"Looks like I can only borrow the name of the Thunder Celestial Temple to ask around in the northern Luo Tian Realm!" Wang Lin rubbed the Thunder Beast's head.
I really can't write anymore. I've been writing from 10 in the morning until now, and I'm exhausted.
I didn't lack words. The three chapters have a total of 9000 words. Originally, I wanted to write 3000 words for this chapter, so please forgive me.
From the 1st to the 6th, I've written a total of 48,000 words. That's an average of 8,000 words per day. This is a limit I've never reached before. My mind is in a mess, and if I continue, I feel like I'm going to collapse. The top 10 of the monthly votes is indeed not something I can just sit on. Alas, I'm really tired.
Compared to speed, it's better to focus on quality.
Today is the weekend, so don't forget to vote for the Renegade Celestial Sect next week.
